This is not to downgrade anybody, but to insure you are SAFE !
ANY ONE who flies an aircraft without doing a weight and balance on it prior is committing Russian Roulette.
A friend who is a test pilot said some certified aircraft if only 1/4 " aft of CG would not recover from spin. Do they pay you enough to be a test pilot? Just what is your life worth.
The manufactures provide weight and balance information ~~ they don't want their aircraft involved in an accident or incident use it. If you don't have their information Call them, like I said "Just what is your life worth"!
If you need help doing a weight and balance and can't find anybody locally, let me know, I can explain how easy enough, been doing them for about 48 years.
